I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest.

I get an audience personally involved in a song - because I'm involved myself. It's not something I do deliberately: I can't help myself. If the song is a lament at the loss of love, I get an ache in my gut. I feel the loss myself and I cry out the loneliness, the hurt and the pain that I feel.

If you possess something but you can't give it away, then you don't possess it... it possesses you.

May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.

I'm just a singer, Elvis was the embodiment of the whole American culture.

You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.
